Located about 80 km north of London, Cambridge is widely known for its over 800-year-old University of Cambridge, the third oldest in the world, consistently ranked among the top 5 Global Universities in the world, with famous alumni and some 120 Nobel laureates, in various studies, such as Sir Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawking and Alan Turing, to name a few.
Cambridge offers a balance of past and present. With its rich history in culture and education, and a strong research foundation in sciences, mathematics and art, it serves as a platform to build and grow modern technology, creating and developing businesses for the future.
Cambridge is far from a sleeping town; it is vibrant with young people and families who not only attend the different schools, colleges, faculties and departments under the university’s umbrella. It’s also growing economically, attracting talent from various technology, AI, healthcare, pharmaceutical, life sciences, and clean energy industries. Cambridge houses more than 25,000 companies due to its ecosystem, such as ARM Ltd, Aveva, Samsung, AstraZeneca, Takeda, GSK, NHS Trust, to name a few.
The population has seen a steady increase in recent years, due to the expanding need for AI and the continuous growth of technology globally. This is fueling demand for more modern, higher-quality, energy-efficient homes for the people who build these industries.
Apart from education and economic growth, Cambridge is well known for its natural beauty, with the town graced with centuries-old architectural buildings, and the River Cam passing through the city, offering a historic backdrop in a city surrounded by reserves and nature.
Cycling is a way of life in Cambridge, boasting over 80 miles of cycle lanes, serves as a great way to commute around the city and take in nature. Walking in town is the best way to take in the architecture and serene river scenes, whilst checking out eateries, boutique shops and places of interest along the way.
